Description
Earl Hooker, Blues Master by Sebastian Danchin is a biography that tells the story of a musician whose talent and influence were cut short. Born in Mississippi in 1929, Earl Hooker was a gifted guitarist who defined the art of blues slide guitar. His music was highly regarded by his peers, including Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, and B. B. King. Despite his significant contributions to the blues genre, Hooker's career was marked by obscurity until his final years. With only a few singles on obscure labels to show for his hard work, he experienced a surge in popularity among young whites seeking American blues tunes. This sudden increase in success was short-lived, as Hooker died of tuberculosis in 1970 at the age of 41. This book provides an in-depth look at Hooker's life and music, shedding light on a musician who left behind only his peers to praise his talent and pass on his legend.
